Re: Huh?

The Rams are becoming boring to watch on the field but off the field, Linehan and his coaching staff are becoming entertaining. It is like a soap opera off the field. I think I will call it something like

Re: Huh?

Their has been a lot of chaos surrounding the Rams of late and i'm sure Linehans head had been spinning. Now it's time to see if he can finally rally this team to victory, or if he's going to simply end up finish sinking with it.

Re: Huh?

Fans: "Only a true Head Coach would hand the playcalling over to an assistant."

Linehan: "Well, then I'm taking back the playcalling."

Fans: "You are the Head Coach!"

I'm having a hard time understanding your cynicism in this matter. Everyone was screaming for a change and now we finally got one and your still not happy? The only other person he could have handed the play calling duties to would be Hasslet.

Its a pretty simple concept.

Last year, Linehan started the season by calling the plays. It didn't work. So he delegated to Olson. Fans cheered.

Now, Olson's playcalling isn't working, and Linehan is going back to calling the plays - THE VERY SAME APPROACH THAT DIDN'T WORK LAST YEAR.

Who should be calling the plays?

Well, I'm not sure there is anyone on the staff who could do a good job at this point, which is part of the problem with the Linehan regime.

Linehan is scrambling to try and make something work in a sea of madness. You don't want him calling plays, you don't want Olson calling plays, what do you want? He's trying to make some changes in an effort to get things going in the right direction. The man is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

What I don't understand is if the Linehan regime is so horrible at calling plays and directing an offense, how in the world were the Rams near the top of the heap last year? How did Bulger have his best year statistically and go to the Pro Bowl? How did Jackson have the 5th best all-purpose yardage total in NFL history and also go to the Pro Bowl? Could it be that there may be some extenuating circumstances this year?
